CNC Wood Parts Pack For Douglas Dakota DC-3 Plane. Designer: Tony Nijhuis Name: DC-3 Model type: Electric transport Designed by: Tony Nijhuis Wingspan: 72” (1892mm) Wing area: 3.5sq. ft.

(10kg / sq. m) Motors: 2 x Permax 600-7.2V* Gearboxes: 2.33:1* Battery: 10-cell 3000m Ah Ni MH (HVHC)*ESC: 45A* Choosing a new subject for a model is never easy, so I like to ask around & get a feel for what might interest other modellers: “ How about a nice B-17, ” I enquired, “or perhaps a Wellington?” Of course, the great thing about this sort of informal poll is that you can always ignore the results. Now, initially, when various parties suggested a medium-size Dakota, I don’t mind telling you I exercised my right to selective hearing because, to be honest, it wasn’t anywhere near the top of my wish list. However, RCM&E editor Graham Ashby wasn’t willing to be ignored... Mr. Ashby, it seems, is rather a fan of the DC-3 &, like it or not, I have to admit that its long & diverse history does lend it a certain cache
- for a commercial aircraft, that is. Although the aircraft has been in service for over 70 years (the prototype first flew on December 17 1935), the Douglas continues to operate in all corners of the world & has achieved an almost iconic status. It’s hardly surprising, then, that so many flyers want a model of the Dakota. On the prototype’s maiden flight, for instance, when it was still uncovered, with unfinished nacelles & a plant-pot stuck on its nose, the Dak’ was recognised with affection by the first modeller I met. “ Oh, a Dakota
- that’s nice. I remember jumping out of one in ‘44...” You get the picture. The upshot of all this is that Graham got his way, & his DC-3.

Douglas DC-3 Skybus 4 CH Brushless RC Plane (DY8931)

Douglas DC-3 Skybus 4 CH Brushless RC Plane (DY8931) This is a unique twin engined and realistic looking airliner and the only purpose built passenger plane in our range. It comes with 35MHz radio equipment and is powered by two brushless motors which make it extremely powerful. The kit is supplied with a high capacity Lipo battery which will give you the longest flight times possible. This radio controlled model is a replica of the Douglas DC-3, whose range and speed revolutionised air travel. The plane was first flown in 1935 and remarkably some are still in service today! The famous C-47 Dakota military plane was also derived from this airliner and enthusiasts like to paint this model in a livery faithful to its type. You can make it look like a Skybus with the included decals, or
create your own unique model DC-3 or C-47 Dakota! The DC-3s looks make it stand out from the crowd and its striking dimensions (including a wingspan of 57") certainly mean this plane will be noticed. The Skybus is constructed from EPO foam, which give it durability and an element of crash resistance which can be handy on those first few flights! This is a Ready to Fly (RTF) kit which includes everything you need apart from the 8 AA batteries to power the transmitter. Approximately 30-45 minutes of basic assembly is all that should be required from opening the box to your DC-3s first flight!
